Words in Hangul. Google translate: " I tried to fly with two very weak iron plates, but it didn't work. I was frustrated and had a dream of crossing the sea."

Meanwhile, the bell is also known by the nickname "Emille." People say the sound of the bell resembles the word "Emille," which is linked to a legend that a child was sacrificed during the casting of the bell. Of course, modern material analysis has shown that this story is just a legend.
How about wearing the "2026 BTS X MU:DS Collaboration Merch" and heading to Gyeongju to see the Sacred Bell of Great King Seongdeok in person? And of course, the songs from "ARIRANG" would be playing on repeat in your headphones.
One of the most notable motifs on the bell is the apsara (flying celestial figure), which also inspired this merch design. Kneeling on a lotus seat above the clouds and holding an incense burner, the figure appears to be ascending into the sky.
It's said that casting the Great Bell of King Seongdeok required about 19 tons of copper, an enormous amount even by today's standards. The bell itself weighs around 18.9 tons. It's known for its incredibly advanced casting technique, beautiful detailed patterns, and its deep, clear sound - showing just how sophisticated Silla's technology and Buddhist culture were at the time.
The collaboration merch was created to celebrate BTS's "ARIRANG." Its design draws inspiration from the patterns of the Sacred Bell of Great King Seongdeok, a National Treasure housed at the Gyeongju National Museum.
The Sacred Bell of Great King Seongdeok was completed in 771. It's the largest surviving bell in Korea, and the only Silla-era bell that still preserves its original form and sound, which makes it historically significant.
